In light of the current economy (and pretty much all the time), I am a big fan of free food. Just saw this ad for a free Kashi Frozen Entree coupon and thought I would share, you can request it at their site. I have tried their cereals, and think they are very good. I’ve never actually tried the frozen entrees, so I can’t vouch for their taste, but, I quickly perused the frozen entree offerings, and they look pretty good. Lots of fiber per serving, as is usual with frozen food though, a good bit of sodium. If anyone has ever tried them, let me what you think.

Been experimenting with using fruit in a savory way lately (especially if I let it sit around too long 😂) Chopped onions, vinegar and olive oil brought the kiwi and dragon fruit together beautifully. #Thanksgiving Filed under: cooking, Food, health, low calorie, vegetarian

Had a very good summer as far as tomatoes go, and find myself making this dish which I’d heard about but never actually made until I found a great recipe in a book by Sally Butcher called New Middle Eastern Street Food: Snacks, Comfort Food and Mezze. It’s basically a tomato and vegetable stew which […]

Still feeling like I need soups over salads while it has been chilly lately. Kinda burned out on stews and the slow cooker for awhile, but, the delicate Japanese broth known as miso has been so good for a quick meal. I’m not crazy about how salty the packets are, but, you can always dilute […]

I don’t usually pay much attention to the “Food Days” that come up, but, when I saw that today was National Popcorn Day, first thing I thought of was the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. I probably could come up with an excuse to talk about coffee any day of the week, but, this is a unique […]

That is the question. Well, not really, but I need a loose recipe goal in mind sometimes, so that’s where I’m at today. Found myself hungry, but also motivated…Leftover whole wheat couscous at my disposal, which in all honesty is dry as sh*t. Had a pretty good set of veggies also, so when all else […]

I made the fatal mistake of food shopping while hungry yesterday. I know toast is like “a thing” these days, but I did not know that cookie butter cream cheese was! Leave it to Trader Joe’s to come up with such a bad ass spread. You might be asking yourselves, is that even healthy? I’m […]

This is my set up for breakfast (when kids sleep late, so yeah, not that often.) You could always get the ingredients ready beforehand and have them available. Either way, just chop it all up and heat up a pan and you are ready to go. Here are my ingredients: Garlic Onions Chives Fresh […]

I got very inspired late last night reading a beautiful cookbook “The Food of Taiwan” by Cathy Erway. Since it was late and I probably shouldn’t have been eating OR cooking, I picked a pretty quick recipe, Noodles with Minced Pork and Fermented Bean Sauce. Most of the ingredients are common pantry items and things […]

I did a double take when I saw the name “sumo” as I was perusing the produce section of Whole Foods. Was this another crazy marketing ploy? First the “Paleo” section at the salad bar and now this! But it seems there is a type of mandarin orange called a Sumo Citrus. It looks a […]

I have to admit, I am not a huge carrot fan. I like them well enough, but, I don’t go out of my way to eat them regularly (I know deep in my soul this is probably a holdover from a long ago experiment with the Atkins diet, for shame!) They are a staple in […]
